Not that you can't do that if you like, just be honest about it.
Well, hell, of course I give more kudos in my own threads. People are answering my question! So why are you getting picky?
Are you trying to start up with me, boy? Don't. Granny has 4 college degrees, 4 black belts, and a green lightsaber. Tick off Granny, and the only way to survive is to RUN . . . 'cause I can't breathe at the moment . . . <wheeze> (ha!)

What am I "starting" with you, exactly?
No matter, sorry for the derailment. I just thought I'd point out the flaw in this trend, in case no one noticed it before, that's all. You do what you want.

EP . . . listen, I'm trying to like you here. Trying to play. Why did you see the need to point out a flaw in the way I (or somebody else) hands out kudos? That can't actually be important to you. Seriously. Can't you just relax? Chill out, have some fun?

I point out what I perceive as flaws in order for people to either improve or correct me if I'm wrong. It's a mutually beneficiary process, in theory.

It comes across as nit-picking, egotistically superior, and an attempt to start an argument. As many people here already have told you. You may tell us you don't care whether people like you or not . . . you might even say you WANT us to hate your guts, and in that case, you're doing a brilliant job, carry on. But if you want to make friends here, save your criticisms and badgering for real logical (and hopefully civil) debate. That's why I mind. You're actually trying to tell me how to "improve" my choices for when to kudo a post? We're actually having this discussion? Are you serious? Why are my choices of which posts I like ANY of your business? Why are you, someone who is not a mod here (in fact, who joined the forum one day after I did) criticizing the behavior of others over such . . . absurd minutiae?

Just saying in case that's what you were doing. I know some OPs use this practice sometimes indiscriminately.
I kudos anyone who takes the time to reply to my threads even if I don't agree with what they're saying. It's my way of saying "Thanks for replying."

Well, at least you're owning up to it.
If they took the time to reply to your thread they were clearly interested to begin with, you don't have to thank them for it, unless you actually agree with them to such a degree that you do.
But that's just my two cents, feel free to disagree.

I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer my questions, but I really wasn't asking you to validate my approach. I'll give kudos as I see fit, and if you want to concern yourself with it, that's your time to spend as you see fit. It's not like your approval actually matters.
